100 pieces of silver

[tiny-tot]

The total treasure equals 100 pieces of silver. It was not shared equally and no one had the same amount as any other.

Mary Reed, Henry Morgan and Francis Drake had 62 pieces of silver between them.

If Sir Francis Drake doubled the amount of silver he had and added one he had the same amount of silver that Sir Francis Drake and Henry Moore had between them.

If Blackbeard multipled his silver by 3 then deducted Blackbeatys amount of silver, this equalled the amount of silver that Sir Henry Morgan had.

Sir Henry Morgan had 22 pieces of silver.

How much silver did each one have?

Is this homework, tiny-tot ?

[tiny-tot]

No its not home work, i wish i was young enough to still be at school! Its for a local quiz.

[Dinkypuzzled]

O.K. I'll have a go at it now.

[Dinkypuzzled]

Reed = 19
Morgan / Moore = 22
Drake = 21
Black Beard 15
Black Beauty = 23
Total = 100

Welcome to Answerbank.

Ta for the welcome. I still need to work at this puzzle as everyone receives a different amount of silver, no two persons are able to have the same amount.

Are there not five people?
I thought you wrote Moore instead of Morgan by accident.

Great, and thank you. Yes i had got Morgan muddled with Moore! Not a lot of hope for me! Im no good with these brain teasers! There are 5 people. Thanks again.
